As I posted earlier, cracking down on corporate price gouging is neither "price control" nor communist.
Yes it is. This is a BOGUS narrative. There is no "corporate price gouging" in a free market economy with lots of competitors. If you still cannot see the deception, it means you have chosen to be deceived. Or have no clue about the market.

Let.s take just one example of how THE GOVERNMENT -- with its fiscal policies, wasteful spending, and printing billions of dollars on paper without any tax base has created inflation, not bogus "price gouging" (blaming business for the sins of the government.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks inflation. Let's take milk as one commodity and see what "Bidenomics" (also Kamalanomics) did to the price of milk. In 2018 (under Trump) the average price per gallon was $2.45. In 2022 (within just 4 years) it was $4.11 per gallon.

So lets look at the actual increase in price (not the hocus pocus of government published inflation figures. 4.11/2.45 = 1.67755 (or in round numbers 1.7).

Multiply that by 100 to get the percentage increase and what do we have. A PRICE INCREASE OF 170%! Did anyone's wages go up by 170%? Would people have had to cut back on milk (and all groceries) because Biden chose to destroy America? And is Harris not another Biden clone, but even more deceptive?

Now there are at least 10 milk brands in the USA, and all compete with each other. Do you seriously believe one producer would jack up his price by 170%, and lose all his business? This is a free market economy now facing a Communist regime.

So all foreign aid is detrimental?


If you can't support your claims, that's a you problem.
Well if you consider Iran hates us and is developing a nuclear weapon and attacking our ally Israel and that all the money we gave to Ukraine could have been spent to the American's peoples benefit instead, yea pretty detrimental.

Well I already did, so again if you want to be blind and be led by blind guides I'll just let you alone and fall in the ditch with them as that is your problem, not mine.

You've never heard of price gouging in a capitalist economy? Really?

Again, post pandemic inflation was a global phenomenon, with the US actually doing much much better than a lot of other countries. We've actually managed to get inflation down to normal levels without going through a recession, something many economists are still impressed by.

If our inflation was solely due to Biden's policies, how did they also create worse inflation elsewhere in the world?

We didn't give foreign aid to Iran.

So I take it you're against any and all foreign aid, correct?

Your demand for evidence is as bogus as Kamala's fake laughter. When you see the evidence you refuse to accept it but jump to something else. Another troll for Harris on CC.
Please stop the name calling.

If you have info, please post it and I'll take a look.

Well now you're playing games. America gave Iran money, money that Trump had actually blocked them from getting, it was one of the first things Biden did actually, and look how that turned out now 3 years later.

I'm not against foreign aid if it benefits America's interests and is reasonable. The moeny spent Ukraine is unreasonable by reason that America has no real direct itnerest nor any direct benefit for it as well as the amount given to them in entirely unreasonable for America being in an incredibly poor economic position. Just think logically, that money could have funded another Trump stimulus for all the American people to help them weather these tough times created by the democrats.

Is there any evidence of this? 107 posts in 3 days, virtually every single one focuses on the horrors of MAGA including his testimony. At this rate he'll post 12,775 posts a year, all about politics on a Christian forum.

Seller's inflation, which has been researched is a thing.

Weber’s research demonstrates that even in “competitive” markets, rival companies replicate the price increases of their competitors so that they do not miss out on an opportunity to profit.

Unless we want to believe it is only angels that work at corporations. :D

Of course, it happens when you have a situation that gives the business a monopoly on the market. Often it happens in times of shortages like a natural disaster. So Kamala is admitting that the Biden administration has been a disaster. I don't think anyone denies that, what has us concerned is having a woman who seems to have never gotten past 1st grade trying to captain the US as we navigate the very perilous waters of bankruptcy and war.
